arxiv.org/abs/2608.12745 A Cloud-Edge System for Multimodal Clinical Screening in Resource-Constrained Rural Settings
Researchers propose a cloud-edge architecture for clinical screening in bandwidth-limited rural areas, with small edge models producing compact outputs that a cloud LLM turns into summaries. On 20 multimodal cases, it reached 98-99% tool recall at 4-15x lower token cost.
